      @@finna1002 About a girl still had a raw sound, but yes it incorporated pop melodies/riffs. An older song, love buzz, did the same. Those songs weren't attempts to enter the pop industry though, rather they were meant to draw a small audience to them while still allowing the band to enjoy their punk rock style and heavy metal influences.
      The band has always had pop hooks.
      You could think of sliver as nirvanas double downing on the pop melodies and adding studio polishing to their sound with the intent of actually entering the pop industry.

      @@finna1002 About a girl attempted to experiment more with pop sounds. There was no intention of hitting the pop charts. Kurt actually fealt nervous by the release of, "about a girl" because it deviated more from his punk rock style. The reason he was experimenting with pop is because he knew that it drew in audiences.
      He never wanted the massive audience he ended up receiving, but wanted an audience nonetheless.
      The track was raw, not overly produced like sliver or the tracks on nevermind.
      The session to record all the songs on bleach took 30 hours in 2-3 takes.
      Sliver was the track that pivoted the band into the pop charts because of the amount of polishing and further emphasis on pop melodies and rifts. This was kurts baby to decide whether or not the band should go full pop.
      This is more clear when you realise tht sliver was released as a non-album single.

    I see lots of comments about how the lyrics are silly/simplistic, but it's actually quite impressive to create such an authentic voice/POV of a young child. Idk exactly why this song always hits me so hard...I guess it's because Kurt just actually transports me back to being a small child and the way it FELT. I always choke up and my eyes well with tears at the line "woke up in my mother's arms." Like I'm smiling, too. It's not sadness but just this huge rush of raw emotion.

    bro this has remained one of my fav songs since i was a kid, and not just for its silly tone, but because it resonated with me. my fam barely had enough money, living in the suburbs of seattle, so my parents were constantly working, and i ended up being pretty much raised by my grandparents. there’s a lot of crazy stuff that’s happened in my childhood - between my mom and i, being an illegal resident of canada, living in a car on the road, living in a friend’s house, etc, but the fact that i resonated with this song in this sense since a young age says something i think.

    Others may find the lyrics shallow and simply written, but I think it's clever. For me, this is a POV of a kid with nonexistent parents and was always left with someone else to take care of them (in this case, the grandma). In that sense, the words doesn't have to be too articulate. It's simple, realistic, and behind the happy tunes, lies the a sad truth that's happening to most kids. My interpretation only. I might be wrong, but this is how I see it.

    Lyrics:
    Mom and dad went to a show
    They dropped me off at Grandpa Joe's
    I kicked and screamed, said please don't go
    Grandma take me home
    Had to eat my dinner there
    Mashed potatos and stuff like that
    I couldn't chew my meat too good
    She said, well, don't you start your crying
    Go outside and ride your bike
    That's what I did, I killed my toe
    After dinner, I had ice cream
    I fell asleep and watched TV
    I woke up in my mother's arms
    Grandma take me home
    I wanna be alone

      @@LilChay the trashy side of Washingtonian families is directly reflected in how his parents treated him through childhood. especially in in the town where he grew up. it's why there are so many disenchanted hipsters in the northwest who claim the family institution is bullshit. it's not actually bullshit, but the attitude stems from the betrayal people felt in their youth by adults who probably shouldn't be raising children.

    I mean.. if I have to name one thing about this song that truly displays a simple yet mastered songwriting sensibility on Kurt's part is starting his vocal in a lower register and then bringing it to a scream in the 3rd and subsequent verses... The impact is huge. It's a simple trick yet the execution is brilliant and makes the hair stand.. Utterly genius.

    Does anyone know this is not Dave Grohl on the drums ...he is in the video but not on the actual recording of the song. It's Dan Peters
